My Story: You Can Still Be A Bodybuilder If You Have Crohn’s Disease

Hi. My name is Jack and I'm a Crony.

Jack shares his story to encourage others 

I was raised in a small town in Massachusetts and now I live in Las Vegas, in the USA.  Crohn's Disease was a part of my life since 1988, after 14 years of rarely even catching a cold or getting sick at all. Before I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease, I was an ambitious and competitive top state soccer player, starting and winning on many all-star and regional teams.

It took many months, several doctors and even more days and nights of lying in the fetal position on my bed (or the floor) from extraordinary and severe pain before I was finally diagnosed accurately. I've heard so many times all the typical excuses and brush-offs like “Don’t worry about it” and "It's all in your head" or "It's just gas".  It was the worst news ever. When I was finally diagnosed I could hardly fathom the news. When I asked the doctor about a cure or fix, he said “Sorry but unfortunately, there is no cure”. And I was left absolutely devastated.

Since 1988 I have had countless surgeries… and resections… and abscesses… and fistulas… and fissures… with the obstructions, the fatigue, the dehydration and all the other "minor" complications just piling up. 

I, like most other people after this kind of diagnosis, found myself going through the phases of trying to come to terms with everything. I went through the "why me?!" phase.  Then followed by the "what the hell!!" phase and then the "come on, really?!" phase. Now I have decided to start a new phase on my journey, a phase of victory.

Firstly, the reason why I’m sharing my story is to promote the benefits of health, physical activity, wellness, positive attitude, nutrition, fitness and also my support group. I started the Breaking Crohn’s Disease community to give people like myself a much needed outlet with a support group while dealing and learning to live with Crohn’s Disease. I started it to let other people out there know that you can overcome this disease.

"It just takes GUTS"

 I also compete in Men’s Physique bodybuilding competitions every year. Men’s Physique is one of the sub-divisions of bodybuilding. Contestants in this subclass are judged on body aesthetics, shape and muscle symmetry. Where it is different from other the bodybuilding divisions is that contestants wear board shorts and do not display usual bodybuilding poses in the competitions. Men’s Physique competitors look a lot more like fitness models compared to usual bodybuilders, since extreme muscularity is not what they are going for and is actually marked against them. I really like the idea behind Men’s Physique because contestants have more opportunity to reach these goals based on what is most appealing instead of working to become a 280 pound (127 kg) bodybuilder. I personally find it more appealing to the crowd and more attainable for the general public. It also helps to create a larger following and provides opportunities to a wider audience for bodybuilding.

I do not enter these competitions to show off my 'good looks’. It is more than that to me. The biggest reason that I want to do this is to raise awareness of Crohn’s Disease and motivate people while showing them that lots of things are still possible, DESPITE having such a debilitating disease such as Crohn’s Disease. A lot of people with Crohn’s disease are severely under-nourished and look like I did 20 plus years ago when I was 160 pounds (72.5 kg). I really want to be a motivation - proving to other people with Crohn’s that it is possible to get your symptoms under control and live a purpose-led, healthy, active and athletic life.

Because I compete, I have personal goals to work towards every year and even accomplishments to be proud of. Placement is not the most important thing to me. I don’t mind whether I get placed first or last in the shows (although I aim for 1st and would be happy to be placed 1st). I enjoy the personal challenges and being able finish what I’ve put my mind to. I’ve had to learn overcome more challenges than most of the other contestants in the competitions, so stepping on stage is a big achievement on its own for me.

I want to show people with my disease what can be possible while pushing the limits of their body and mind even with a debilitating chronic disease like mine. I have had good days, and I have had bad days. But it’s not for sympathy. I do not want people to feel sorry for me. That’s not my motivation. I want to raise awareness about a relatively unknown disease that many people have not heard about. People take a look at me and initially see my physical appearance. But there is so much more to my story. My story is much more than just my physical achievements and I want to represent more than that. It’s about dedication and the fact that you can be what you want to be. Disease can only stop your dreams if you let it. I really hope to make a difference in someone’s life - be it big or small. I hope that I can be the motivation that someone out there can use to improve their life. That is my real dream.

My goal is to provide motivation and show what has helped me deal with these challenges so that others can do better for themselves as well. Let people look at me and be motivated to pursue their own dreams without fear or defeat. Exercise is my natural antidepressant and it can be the same for others. That is one of the biggest reasons why it is so important for me to stay physically active. As someone living with Crohn’s disease, it is often hard to maintain a positive mind set. Exercise is such a great way to help you feel more upbeat in life, become more in-tune with your body, and helps to prepare you for so many other potential obstacles that you will face in your life with Crohn’s Disease. If a bad flare exhausts you and when you feel especially drained from surgery, it is good to know that resuming some form of enjoyable exercise is a sign that you are returning back to independence and your personal self-care routine. Sometimes, finding time to exercise will be challenging, but it sure is the best motivation to recall what it felt like to be sick and unable to exercise, or even move and see how far you have come. Remember those feelings when you find yourself unenthusiastic about exercising. Make the most out of every day that you have in life. The time that you have to be strengthening your body is a privilege for all of us; one that Crohn’s can sometimes take away from you. Always take advantage of the opportunities you have to work out!

“WHAT TYPE OF BODY DO YOU WANT TO LIVE IN?”  You still have the choice. You can decide to control your disease instead of letting it control you. You can be the master of this! It is difficult at first, but like with everything else, practice makes perfect. Every day CAN be better than the last. Take it from me; you will notice improvements both in the severity of symptoms and your enjoyment of life.

Why Size Doesn't Win Bodybuilding Competitons

Size matters, but do does other factors.

It's not always the biggest guy who wins the bodybuilding competition 

Perhaps you want to pursue a career in bodybuilding but can't seem to place better than you should.

One of the biggest mistakes that most beginners make is to assume that the goal is to get as big as possible and that their success on stage is proportionate to the amount of muscle mass that they can present to the judges. 

Size is a big factor in determining the winner, but it is definitely not the only factor that matters. If size is still your weak point, try these supplements, or build your own bulking diet here.

Size isn't all that matters.

Have you ever been to a bodybuilding show and wondered why the biggest guys are sometimes placed lower than someone clearly smaller than them? 

The judges aren't blind. They just judge according to different criteria than you. While size is what distinguishes bodybuilders from the rest of the world, is it only one factor in determining the ultimate bodybuilding athlete.

Size is important, but certainly not the most crucial part of winning.

How to win a bodybuilding competition

1. Symmetry

2. Posing ability

3. Stage presence

4. Proportion

5. Muscle definition

6. The total look

Requirements of a bodybuilding winner

1. Symmetry

Balance is important to the bodybuilding aesthetic.

See how bodybuilders earn their salaries here.

You can be twice the size of the guy next to you. But if any muscular imbalances are visible to the naked eye then you might as well give your spot away to your smaller but symmetrical competitor.

Judges grade competitors on a points system. Body symmetry can cost you the most points without you even knowing about it. 

Have a good look in the mirror. We all have a 'good side' and a 'not as good' side, but one of your main goals will be to close this gap as much as you can. 

You need to work hard to find any parts of your body that don't quite match the other half and correct them. Only upon closer inspection might you see that your left peck slightly dominates your right.

This might not be a big issue in normal life. It is definitely a possible 'I don't know why I didn't win' card for you to pick up after the next time you step on stage. Correct imbalances like this to do better at your next show.

Work on your imperfections.

2. Posing ability

What are the best poses? Which poses do you need to do on stage? Have you practiced them in front of the mirror so many times that it feels natural and comfortable?

More importantly, do you know how to execute each pose so that every body part and muscle is flexed in such a way that it boasts your physique in the best possible light? 

Take a good look at the next show you attend and take note of who knows how to pose the best, in your opinion. Take note of who poses more naturally and who looks like they need to concentrate more on pulling the right muscles at the right time.

Match these findings up to the winners afterwards and you will be surprised by how much posing ability actually determines the winner.

Judges can easily see the difference between people who are completely in touch with what makes their bodies look the best with each pose and those who are just doing what the others are doing and 'going with it'. 

It looks like practice really does make perfect.

Practice makes perfect.

Everybody is different. 

Take the 'front double biceps' pose, for example. Do you know which body parts this pose emphasizes and how you should hold this particular pose for your body's best look? 

With practice you will find that perhaps you need to bend your knees a little more to show off the leg muscles or rotate your feet in a certain direction to get the best calf angles. Get big calves now.

3. Stage presence

Choose what you project.

Do you look like the newbie who is still trying to come to terms with the bright light in your eyes when you first walk on stage? 

As the audience turns their attention to you when your name is called out, is your body language that of a champion that deserves to carry the legacy of bodybuilding forward to the next generation?

Does your body language show nerves or an 'I'm trying not to look scared' face? 

Walk with confidence. Let your presence on stage depict a victor in need of reckoning. This takes time, but you need to work on developing a persona that envelopes the crowd.

With time, you need to learn to conquer the crowd with your presence - don't let the crowd conquer you. 

Command admiration, and it shall be given to you. Walk like the champion, be seen as the champion.

4. Proportion

Grow the weak. Balance the strong.

Do you know what one of the biggest destroyers of would-be bodybuilding champions is? Calves!

Upper-body and lower-body proportions are extremely important. Bigger competitors are often placed below their smaller peers because of body proportion.

If you have freakishly large pecks, make sure the rest of your body is just as freakishly large or it could actually work against you. 

You cannot afford to lose the placement that you deserve because your one muscle groups is larger or smaller then what is considered 'proportionate' to the rest of your body. You need to work on keeping everything in proportion.

Imagine trying to not let any other body part outshine the other. 'My chest is smaller but my bigger arms will make up for it in the show', said one loser to another. 

A few friends of mine have lost shows purely because of certain muscles being out of proportion to the rest of their bodies. 

We often see bigger guys lose to smaller guys because their legs weren't in proportion to the rest of their body. If your calves need work, click here.

5. Muscle definition

You must define what you grow.

How well can each muscle be seen within every muscle group? Can you see all three heads on your triceps, for example? 

Reduce body fat and decrease the water reserves in your body to reveal the muscles underneath.

Be able to show the muscles that you worked so hard to get. It is just as important as the size of those muscles. 

You can get all the muscle in the world. If they aren't seen clearly, what is the point of entering a bodybuilding competition?

6. The total look

Check your hair, skin and style.

Every bodybuilding federation has a certain look they tend to lean towards. You need to look the part.

Winners are chosen among those who a certain bodybuilding organization or federation feels would fit their image and embody what they feel is the picture of the ultimate bodybuilder according to their standards.

Do you look like someone who would be sponsored by big companies? How far is your look from the guy that these competitions want to find?

We all have a different image in our heads, but there are definitely similarities in general. 

'The look' comprises of your body, face, haircut, outfit, body language, persona, eye contact, and more - even down to skin tone. 

Work to create the look that these organizations are after. Be the one that they chose because you are their prefect poster boy.

If you want to compete in South Africa, check the local bodybuilding competitions here.

Conclusion

So as you can see, size doesn't win bodybuilding competitions because it is only one aspect that will be judged to find the ultimate bodybuilding champion. 

Work hard on all these often under-looked areas and you will be well on your way to placing better and better after each bodybuilding competition. 

Work hard. We hope to see you in the next magazine! STAY STRONG!

Make a Career out of Bodybuilding

Turn your passion into your career.

This article is about how to get into the bodybuilding industry. Learn how bodybuilders earn an income here.

How to turn you love for bodybuilding into a full time job

It is possible to get rich doing what you love - and bodybuilding is no different. 

There are too many people trying to make a career out of this sport, however, and the industry is not big enough to support everybody that simply works out. 

You need to do a lot more than a few bodybuilding competitions to turn it into something that can support your current lifestyle.

A bodybuilding career is different to other careers for many reasons

It is not, and can't be regarded as, a normal job where you get paid a monthly salary for performing a pre-set list of tasks or duties.

Your success depends on working with as many different companies and organizations as possible. It’s not like you simply pass one interview and you’re set for the rest of your life.

Unlike other careers, you will be discriminated against according to the way you look.

More so than other careers, you need to develop your personal brand (both physically and in the industry). You are the actual product that you trying to sell. 

The people that will pay you are typically more interested in how you will be able to influence the public to buy their products or support their own brands.

Create what other will pay for.

Make a career out of bodybuilding

Get obsessed

Many people wait for years until they finally feel like they're big enough to compete. They then compete once a year and hope that someone is going to spot them and throw money at their face. The chances are almost definite that they aren't going to make a single cent in this industry. 

There are millions of people around the world that hunt down companies that use brand ambassadors - and you’re sitting in the locker room hoping that they will come to you?  Don't waiting for a good opportunity to come by before you actually do something about what you want.

You might not be ready for a sponsorship yet. Start doing certain things now so that when you are ready. Get all the preparation stuff done so that you can attack the market, head on. Become a lot more aggressive in your attempt to succeed. 

Obsession means that you are prepared to sacrifice a large part of your life for this. If you aren't going to put in the work, stop now. Don’t waste your time thinking that you’ll get anywhere. 

Every day that doesn't bring you closer to your goal is a day wasted. If you only do something about your dreams once a week, you will take 7 times as long as it could take to get you where you want to be. Not only that, but you will be 7 times slower than anybody else.

You can get closer to your goal everyday by doing things that you wouldn't think you needed to do until it’s too late. 

It's all or nothing.

What skills do you need that you currently do not have? 

Have you practiced your poses in front of the mirror so much that its second nature, preventing disastrous slip-ups on stage? 

Have you practiced your facial expressions for when you get that envious magazine shoot? 

Have you worked on building your confidence so that your nerves don’t destroy your chances of winning? 

Are you constantly building up your social media platforms so that you are slowly but surely becoming the influential icon that companies would want on their books?

Bookmark this page and refer to it often to make sure you are constantly improving to get better and better than the next bodybuilder.

Know the key players in the bodybuilding industry

Study the people who have made it.

What do you want to become? Who are the people that currently hold the positions that you want? 

It is important to know their stories and how they got to where they are. If the guy that is currently doing what you dream of doing walks past you in the gym or at an event, would you even know?

Knowledge about the key players will help you to direct and steer your networking attempts towards the right people. 

You need to know the organizers of events, bodybuilding competitions and their judges. 

Extreme measures for success

Some top performers even research who the judges of a competition will be and change their stage approaches accordingly. 

How nice would it be to know that the current judges of a competition generally score higher on athletes wearing red? It sounds crazy, but it works. 

Do you know which companies currently sponsor bodybuilding events? Which organizations sponsor athletes like you? Know what they look for in brand ambassadors. Discover who the people are that they hire to scout for the few sponsored individuals. 

Have contacts in other industries that could complement your career goals. This will be of monumental help to you. Imagine knowing the journalist or editors that could cover your story in a magazine or newspaper!

You need to do your research and know your story. Knowledge is power. Unfortunately, the world isn't going to open up to you once your biceps grow to a certain size.

What are you pouring yourself into?

Learn everything that you can about the bodybuilding industry

Who are the top 5 most successful players in the supplements industry of your country? How did they get there? The chances are high that you can’t answer these questions - and neither can the other 98% of people who want to make it in our industry.

Those top 5 knew the answers to questions like that before they made it big. Knowing the industry is a requirement to getting through the door. Being obsessed with it helps you get further than the rest. 

Reading articles like this when you have nothing to do at work or because you’re bored and browsing the internet is just not good enough to get to the top. 

People think your body simply looks good by going to the gym. They don’t know about all the work that you actually put in; like training programs, research, eating plans, supplements and the like.

Similarly, people don’t just train until they are big enough, walk onto a stage and become world famous. It takes a whole lot a research and planning. 

How many bodybuilding competitions are there in your area? Who would sponsor you? How much do athletes get sponsored for? What opportunities exist in the market right now? How will you add value to this industry that people, companies or organizations are willing to pay for? What streams of revenue are you going to earn from?

Know your environment.

Network like crazy

The more people you know and the more contacts you can make in the industry, the higher your chances of success are. 

Many people overlook this point and assume that they can make the right contacts when they need to. People assume that they can Google who they need to know or they just don’t need to meet more people to further their careers.

The percentage of top players who got to where they are because of the people that they know is phenomenal. It is very unlikely that you will get anywhere without knowing the right people and without the right relationships.

Notice how people on the bottom don't know anybody. People at the top of their industries are well connected. Is this a coincidence?

How to network

Start by making friendships with whomever you can. Make friends with the people who want to make a career out of bodybuilding as well. They might just know of a great opportunity that you don’t.

It might sound silly to make friends with the guy who is reselling supplements on the corner. Months later he asks you to be the face of his brand in the shop that he just took over. He launches an online empire with all of his marketing.

A good friend of mine scored a big deal through the above example.

It is very important to prioritize networking as one of the core strategies for success.

Start wherever you can. Here are a few ways that you can make friends at your local gym without irritating them.

Network your way to the top

Get involved

If doing bodybuilding competitions is just a fun hobby of yours that you do every now and then, there is nothing wrong with that. But if you want to make an actual career out of it, you are going to need to do a lot more. 

You need to get intensely involved in the industry. Go to competitions - even when you do not compete. Go to the finalist events - even if you didn't make it. Attending all the events associated with this trade. This will give you have a greater chance of getting in on what is happening. 

You will learn a lot of valuable information in these places. Meet with important people, make surprisingly helpful contacts, find out about great opportunities, discover other ways to achieve your goals and reinforce the burning fire that you need to push your way upwards. 

I've met some great contacts in events I didn't even take part in. For example, I met a journalist who does stories on up and coming stars in the industry. Imagine getting a significant interview that will help your career, at an event you weren't even competing in! 

You hear about success stories about people who got lucky by meeting the right person at the right time that jump-started their path to success. What you don’t hear is that they were so obsessed that they were constantly at events like these. 

You’re not going to meet anyone worthwhile when watching TV at home on your rest days.

Procrastination is the enemy of progress.

Get a relevant job

You probably want to be the next Arnold Schwarzenegger. You need to start right at the bottom. It is not essential to get a job in the bodybuilding, nutrition, health or fitness world - but it will definitely help a lot.

Many people who compete are personal trainers - and you will especially do better with your personal training job as you increase your rank in bodybuilding competitions. Plenty of people who are relatively successful on stage use their success to exponentially increase their earnings with their personal training jobs or fitness businesses.

Their pro-status means that they can charge a lot more for personal training sessions and even coach other people on how to compete in the same type of events. 

Try to get whatever job you can in the industry, so that you have a steady stream of income until you cash in the mega bucks. 

Stay in the industry on a nine-to-five basis to give you a better competitive edge than the people who spend most of each day outside of the industry. 

This means that your chances of making great contacts, learning about current opportunities, getting sponsored etc. are much, much higher.

How much time can you dedicate to your dream?

Enter as many bodybuilding competitions as possible

This should be obvious, but you want as much exposure as possible. 

You can enter as many competitions as you want until you do well in one of them and you get a pro card. 

When you become a pro at a competition, they will issue you with a pro card. This pro card is coveted by many competitors. You cannot enter bodybuilding competitions by other organizations when you have a pro card. You are then restricted to only entering into that specific competition. 

Enter into as many competitions as you can until you get your pro card.

Enter into bodybuilding competitions even when you are on your off season

It is a good idea to enter these competitions even when you don’t feel like you are at your best or ready yet. Your off season (or bulking phase) is a great time for practice.

This is because the more competitions you do, the better you will be at it.

See the competitions that you don’t feel too confident about as practice for the big ones. Having a few competitions under your belt and attending them regularly to keep in the swing of things will add to your overall performance and placement in the long run.

Do not limit yourself to bodybuilding competitions. Try some modelling competitions as well. These might open new doors and opportunities for you.

Here are the bodybuilding competitions in South Africa.

You do best when you choose to stay active.

Attack the media

Try to get into the media whenever you can. You can definitely use this coverage as good leverage later on for further success. 

Make friends with journalists and editors from different forms of media like TV, radio, newspapers, and magazines. 

The media is often very open to doing articles on new athletes who are entering into competitions.

This exposure might lead to greater exposure or even land you the sponsorship that you want. A judge who reads your article in the newspaper will more likely notice you on stage than the other contenders. 

Self-promotion is essential to building and establishing your brand above the rest and should be done right from the beginning. 

Your wins look a lot bigger if your journey has been in the eye of the media from the start. It is often too late to try to attract extra media attention if you only start after doing well in a competition.

How to get into the media

Don't contact one newspaper. Search for all the media outlets in your area and get hold of them all. Chances are that one of them will do a story on you if you contact enough of them. Use this story as leverage for other people that you approach.

Use social media. Start building your following. Most sponsorship companies look at your social media profiles to gauge whether they are sponsoring somebody with influential pull or some random Joe.

Look at this guy. He has Crohn's disease and he is pursuing a career in bodybuilding. He uses the fact that he struggles with Crohn's as an advantage by writing articles for online sites like SA Spotters to build his personal brand.

Our door is always open to aspiring athletes who want to gain some exposure for themselves. Here is how you can make your name known among our readers.

Build your momentum now.

Build a portfolio

There won’t be anybody else to promote you in the beginning. Nobody who you want to reach will know of you. It is your job to change that. 

Build a portfolio with your information, pictures and past successes. This portfolio is basically an advert with the goal of persuading the reader to buy into the product you are selling (you are that product). 

Keep copies of this portfolio on hand and take it with you wherever you go. Try to get this in front of as many people as possible. 

It is your job to somehow get the right people to see your portfolio. You should make sure that it is so good that after seeing it they can’t resist not paying you to promote their brand.

Self-promote yourself as much as you can and wherever you can! 

Make a Facebook and Twitter page at bear minimum and get as many followers as possible. You want to try and build your name into an authority that people want to emulate. 

You need to build yourself into the person that others want to be like. As soon as you do this, sponsors might even start looking for you.

Promote yourself.

Contact as many companies and people as possible

Single out the companies that you would like to be sponsored by and get stuck in their faces. They should be forced to see your portfolio just to shut you up. 

If somebody sees your portfolio and rejects it, found out why. If you can find out what is wrong or missing, you can make the right changes to increase your chances of success the next time. 

People tend to send their portfolio to one company that they like through an email and stop there, waiting for a reply. Don’t be that guy. That guy gets nowhere. 

Getting accepted is a numbers game. You should have a list of your favorite companies that you would like to work with. You need to submit your portfolio to as many companies as possible.

Chasing your dream should be done like a full time job - and that means putting some serious effort into contacting as many companies as possible. 

Try as many ways as you can to get your foot in the door. Keep your eye on these companies and see whether and when they have competitions with sponsorships as prizes. 

Offer to volunteer with the events these companies hold. This is another great way to get you noticed above the masses of the other people who are trying to grab their attention.

Establish good relationships with photographers

Try to establish good working relationships with photographers. When they build their own portfolios, photographers often ask for models to pose for free. 

This is a good idea because you can also use these professionally taken photos for your own portfolio - and you will appear in the photographers’ portfolios when they show them to their clients.

Volunteer as a model. This is also very good experience to learn how to pose in photo shoots.

Rather mess up in front of an amateur than right in the middle of your dream shoot! Contact many photographers - it is better to work with a number of them than just one.

Final words about making a career out of bodybuilding

Take a moment to imagine two people. One person tried everything on this list. The other one read through the list and found a few interesting points but didn't really implement anything.

One of them became world famous. Who do you think it was?
